It`s funny that in all this descriptions the sails were rigged up in the Studio easyly. All works so smooth and perfect. In real life at the beach it is totally different.

Hi Norbert, believe it or not, team riders and R&D are rigging sails every day. For them it is always a piece of cake. It is as easy as it looks, you just need training;-)

Very good video. The de-rigging changed a bit from the previous video from 2016 - I will try that new way tomorrow - should help with the mast pocket and battens/cam longevity :-)

@1:52 see how the boom is in the middle of the gap in the luff, i'm 178cm tall (and i would imagine that's kind of an about average height) but in all my sails i have to set the boom as low as i can be in that gap. what's up with that?

Hi, boom openings are made in a way that even smaller persons than you can comfortably sail. Maybe you prefer a quite low position of the boom. I have same size and normally I place it in the middle too, a bit deeper when it is really windy, never touching the bottom line. Cheers Jörg

Would you change all the metal zipper to plastic , all of them will corrode in a few years !

@Statek63 2 жыл бұрын

That happens in salty water if you do nothing. I use either WD-40 or a green Finish Line bicycle chain oil to lubricate the zippers a bit and that protects them from seizing, even in salty water.

@@Statek63 , all other brand use plastic zipper now , no one except Gun sail , unbelievable !!

@@Freedo1234 All my sails from Gun also have plastic zippers, so not sure what is the problem. Plastic zippers also might seize with enough salt accumulated, hence my trick to keep them working well even in these conditions. Cheers...
